SkyBill40 The sentiment is abundantly clear: People DO NOT WANT THESE in their communities. What will it take to get that message across to the town and city councils who keep approving zoning permits? I mean… someone's front door got shot up over it. Dare we wait to see what comes next? Reply
bigdragon Local representatives need to remember that a bigger town budget is not necessarily what the people living there want. I don't want more revenue coming into my community if it means higher utility prices, the constant droning noise of cooling systems, and zero local quality of life improvement. Nearly all of these data center situations are the result of local reps fixating on the bigger revenue numbers and thinking they can buy their way out of the negative impacts. I'm glad to see people increasingly push back. In my region there's rumor of another amusement park (Kings Dominion) getting sold off to developers who want to put in data centers. The park's electrical infrastructure, water infrastructure, and low land values make it an ideal place for data centers. The park is an essential entertainment destination for people who like thrill rides, but the local reps seem to have no clue that people who like thrill rides don't necessarily like the "alternatives" in the region (mostly sports). Again though, local officials just see "bigger number better" for revenue and don't care about how locals are affected until people push back. Reply

SkyBill40 There's a huge data center complex that's mostly finished but still expanding near me run by Cyrus One. Thankfully, it's not that close to my residence but it is surrounded by large neighborhoods and the residents have complained a ton about noise and what not. The problem is, once it's in, it's in and there's no getting it out. The city is looking at revenue generation and has been using up what used to mostly be farmland and shifting to residential and dense commercial. There's hardly any land left seeing we butt against a large reservation and they have no interest (at this point, anyway) in having data centers built on their land. Time will tell as to what they do, but I personally don't see it due to a lack of resource infrastructure. Intel also has a massive footprint in the area as well, fully surrounded by residential that's encroached over time. Reply
WINTERLORD Didnt know theres already been attacks on lives over these ai centers but You know I could really see those hard-core climate change people doing bad things over these data centers nothing suprises me Reply
Notton took advantage of a loophole "Rules for thee, not for me" Those loopholes only happen because some big corporation has a ton of money to pay a team of lobbyists to put it in law, and a team of lawyers to exploit previously existing ones. It's designed so that no normie can ever exploit it without intricate knowledge of the law. Reply
